480 minutes
Lake McDonald Lodge
In keeping with many of great lodges built under the direction of the National Park Service, the historic Lake McDonald Lodge has a European Swiss chalet style, crossed with a rustic hunting lodge - though that seems a contradiction with Park values today. Advanced reservations (through NPS) are highlighly recommended if you want to stay overnight, but day visitors are welcome in the restaurants, gift stores and general store. The lobby houses taxidermy collections of mountain animals on its walls. Activities, horseback rides and lake cruises all depart from the lodge.
60 minutes
Haystack Creek Culvert
Pretty waterfalls that flow directly beside the road. Though you won't see it as you drive over, there is a small arch that allows the water to pass directly under the road.
Located at the lower end of Lake McDonald and roughly 2 miles from the West Glacier Entrance, Apgar offers a visitor center, some gift and camping stores, dining, lodging and boat rentals. The Apgar Campground is the largest campground in Glacier National Park and almost always full.
30 minutes
Logan Pass, the summit of the drive and the highest point we will reach as we cross the mountain pass and home to the Logan Pass Visitor Center. There is a selection of short or long hikes from here that will give you that incredible high alpine environment experience. Also a great place for spotting wildlife.
30 minutes
Lunch Creek
Just a few minutes drive to the east of the Logan Pass Visitor Center, Lunch Creek has been a favourite rest stop for many Going to the Sun Road visitors. If exploring, please stick to to the paved areas and designated trails to help prevent further erosion to this over-loved area.
30 minutes
Weeping Wall
If you are touring early in the season, you might get a free car wash at the Weeping Wall, as the snow melt showers over the road and your vehicle. By fall, you might be wondering what all the fuss was about.
Siyeh Bend
Another section along the route, where the road bends its ways through a gulch carved into the mountainside by a constantly fast flowing creek. Siyeh translates to "mad dog" or "crazy wolf" but no need to fear any rabid beasts here. The pullout provides a place to park off the road and enjoy more great views of the surrounding mountains. The trailhead for some serious hikes into the mountains leave from here.
10 minutes
Wild Goose Island
A punctuation within Saint Mary Lake, tiny Wild Goose Island sits only 10ft above the water, but seems only to add to the beauty at one of the most photographed locations on the Going to the Sun Road.
30 minutes
Montana
Many Glacier is like a Park within the Park. Just 12 miles off Highway 89 from the town of Babb, Many offers a suberb and stunning collection of views and activities. Hiking options vary from rewarding uphill efforts to Grinnell Glacier, or gentler loop walks around alpine lakes. Lake cruising has been a tradition for Many for decades. Use the cruisers for the pure sightseeing enjoyment or to shorten some of the longer hikes. It's a great wildlife spotting area too! Food services are available as is lodging - but reserve early. Remember that reservations are required to enter Many in peak season.
